I realize this is a re-post, but since I initially listed this Friday is the last day to sign up (I may extend the signup to draw a few more participants), I thought I would send a reminder about this swap since our deadline is drawing near!! Please spread the word to any friends you think might be interested. The more, the merrier!

I am very excited to announce that I have decided to host a Mother Goose themed swap!I hope you will join in the fun!Here are all the details:

Partner names will be sent out via email by: Monday February 11th

Send completed swap out by: Friday, March 7th

Swap Description:This is a "use what you have" craft swap. So, don't buy anything new, just scavenge around and make do with what you have. It's more challenging and fun that way, right?Select your very favorite nursery rhyme(s). Make a handcrafted item that is inspired by this rhyme(s) and mail it to your partner.

*Hint* Be sure you include the rhyme you are inspired by somewhere in your swap package if it is not incorporated into the craft itself.*

About Me

First and foremost, I am a mom to three wonderful kids. This role really has defined me as of late. Besides a mom, I am a wife, daughter and friend who is still struggling to figure out what I want to be when I "grow up". There are just too many things out there that I find that I love doing. It becomes more and more difficult, with each passing day, to edit my never-ending list of aspirations, inspirations, motivations, wanna-tries, to-dos and so on and so forth. Right now I am a pack-rat aspiring to become a minimalist. Crafting helps me gain control, giving me an outlet, a purpose and a reason to be such a squirrel of a hoarder. It's all in the genes I tell you. You should meet my mom! I live to learn, to discover, to create, to laugh and to love.
